Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I watch one at a time, a couple maybe per week. I don't have a lot of time to watch tv, and those couple anime episodes are all I watch anymore besides an occasional movie. But besides the time constraint, if I really enjoy an anime I like to savor it anyhow. It might take me a few months to go through one season. But I'd hate to go through it all in one sitting. I like the excitement spread out, the anticipation of whats going to be in the next episode growing for days before I have a chance to see it. You miss out on all of that, watching it all at once, makes it less significant. I enjoy thinking about the last episode and letting it stew a bit in my mind. If I have time I often watch the last episode over again and then the next. That satisfies my appetite a little more without blowing through it as quick. Same with manga, I'll limit myself to just a couple new chapters each time I pull out a book, but I'll usually re-read a couple of the last ones too each time. Memorabilia as well... like the booklet that comes with the dvd's or bluray that has character info and staff interviews and such, I'll just read one page and put it away for next time. I bought an art book of my favorite anime/manga and didnt even open it for half a year, waiting on a special occasion.

Perhaps I'm a little weird, definitely in the minority here, but I'm cool with that.

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

Pretty simple for me, On-going series I am watching right now are at about seven and then I have four other animes that have finished but I have not caught up to.

When it comes to watching it when I pick a new series I get up to date with it as much as possible unless it only just came out and is still on the first episode ect.. If it is a completed series I normally either go through it all in one go if it is only the likes of a twelve or twenty odd episode Anime I can do it in one sitting if it is a longer Anime I normally can do it within a couple of days unless it is a hundred plus.

For example Kuroko No Basket had Seventeen episodes and I caught up with it in one day, now on episode twenty one though considering it is still going.
Another example would be Durarara!! that I completed in one sitting.

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I start several different anime at the same time so I don't get bored with one anime. I also crazy amounts of episodes at the same time because I get so hooked I will not stop watching. I normally eat a bowl of noodles and then eat ice cream aafter that and maybe some chips and candy with that.

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I cant eat when chips when I watch Anime because (and I dont think I ever noticed this until I started watching Anime) I look at my food too much when Im eating so I miss a lot of the subs and I hate missing anything because you never know when youll miss a moment of foreshadowing. I drink coca cola on the regular. and will eat some candy like a box of nerds some sweet tarts or something like that.

I watch one series at a time but will break them up with the occasional movie. And Ill usually watch a few episodes at a time sometimes a lot of episodes if my schedule allows it!

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I usually have homework so I only get in a few episodes in at a time. (Yeah, I even get homework during the breaks)
If I don't have homework, which is rare, I have a huge marathon and I sit in front of my computer with a blanket draped around my body.

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

Mostly watch them on weekends bcz i don't have tine on weekdays,usually i plan before what i'm gonna watch like making and anime list (3-4 anime),after that watch few episodes but it depends on my interest for the anime
If anime is still airing i just wait till i have free time,take my iPad or laptop and.... you know what is going on then xD

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I get my onsie on, have to watch it in bed!
also the genre/current mood affects me too like if it is a comedy ill watch it anytime, but if its a dark anime / action its gotta be dark to set the mood
and I watch several anime at once, checking to see what might be coming out soon too ^_^ (Eat skittles too!~)

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I don't know how a lot of you can watch several at a time, that would bother me! I have to watch ONE series till the end and then move on to the next. ALSO, the series has to be finished, I hate waiting on a weekly basis for a new episode. I try to make sure the Anime is HD, though watching the old school ones you don't have that luxery. Download my series, copy to external hardrive and plug into my 48"HD tv.

I do this on a nightly basis, as soon as I get my 6 year old to bed, its "Daddy anime time!" I try to get in at least 6 episodes a night, if I'm still awake to do so! lol

Re: HOW do you watch anime?

I generally watch by myself, or with my kiddos depending on what I'm watching. Toonami is spent with my husband watching. If it's just me, I kick back on the bed with my iPad and watch a series until I can't stomach it anymore.
